... Factors Affecting the Availability of Microsimulation Models The primary factors that affect the production, availability, and usefulness of socioeconomic microanalytic simulation models are (1) substantive knowledge in the social sciences required to build operating characteristics for such models 53This situation is in contrast to state simulation of alternative federal and state income tax policies, where microdata for the tax-paying uruts under current law are captured routinely through the taxfiling process.
